The amiami link is still live. Good luck to everyone who's still looking for this.

Still up? Wow...guess this wasn't that popular....or maybe Bandai now has a better idea on product demand world-wide?

A few other places have yet to list....
Just came in to thank you for the links - placed an order at AE a couple hours ago and am glad I did becuase it's now sold out (even when not logged in).
I wasn't sure if I wanted a second one (I have the original) but what the hell, new hat and all...🤣

Just posting a few updated comparisons of the Arcadia Focker SSP armor and the KO Valkyrie Factory set at the request of a fellow MWF member. I have included pics on all the armor parts. Hope this helps.

@rdrunner Your Fighter and Gerwalk are cool. I think Battroid can be adjusted just a little. I’ve done the pose as close as possible before with the VF-1S.
Hi @sh9000 yeah actually I think you’re spot on with your suggestions as I compared @jvmacross’s cover with the original and also with yours.
the left knee was rotated too wide, its left hand could be lowered/relaxed a bit, and the right wrist with the gunpod needs to be adjusted outwards too.
Now I totally understand the amount of precision that goes into your pics!

@jvmacrosswow thanks very much for the photoshop treatment!
I’ve always been a fan of your work but never thought you’d take my pics and put that on the cover. Love this - would you mind if I save it and share on my FB?
Thanks again. I would never have been able to do this myself 😆 -
Trying on the 15th anniversary Super VF-1D setup. Quite refreshing actually.

No sitting Minmay with the DX VF-1D?No problem….🙄

Mine from Okini Land has arrived. Shipped 7/21 and got here today. DHL never disappoints.

Got my stickers from Anasazi37 today, in record time. They look good and were packed well between pieces of cardboard inside a flat mailer. I guess that got it sorted into the flat mail that USPS is actually delivering still with our bills. Glad it wasn't in a box I might not see it next Christmas
Anyhow they look great. I have only put one on so far but man replacing that 100 with a 001 was just absolute Bliss!
thanks!!!
Same here, just got them today, thanks again @Anasazi37 for making these available and at very reasonable prices too. Much appreciated!

So I just got a VF-0D and was getting ready to display it when I realized the display stand adapter connection is completely different from all my other Yamato/Arcadia valkyries (it's my first Macross Zero valk), I also see that YetiStand products are no longer being sold. Any suggestions for alternative display stands that would work for the VF-0D and are actually available?
The new Arcadia Variable Fighter stand works with this one. It has the adapter for the 1:60 VF-0’s.

Cancelled at From Japan; okiniland sold out!
Wow Okini was available for a long time this evening. I may just have been at the end of their queue!

Yep, order cancelled, and hit submit on my Okini Land one, so hopefully I've got two separate orders in place. Guess we'll see how things turn out in July.
Congrats. You should be safe with two orders, fingers crossed. I put in one from BIJ yesterday, and was gonna use NNG with a voucher for my backup, but got cart jacked and so went with Okini land instead.

Thanks for the link - I took the chance and ordered from Hobby-Genki. I hope they come through and EMS gets to me (I have no doubts with Japan Post, its when it gets to Canada, our Postal System here sucks - but at least the chance exists that I won't get dinged with Customs & Duties which is a certainty with FedEx or DHL plus their service charges).
I’m willing to give them a chance but I haven’t been able to add it to cart and check out.

It’s now back to “soon available”. I had it in my cart but wanted to use my loyalty points so had to go back and convert to a code. Then I missed it...

Did Okini PO open up? I've had great business transactions with them.

i think they are still up. Good luck.

They just started shipping them out. And why are you asking them a week ago when these just started getting into collector's hands about 3-4 days ago and those people live in Japan?
Thanks. I sent them a note on the 18th to be precise, because I had not selected a shipping method for the order when I placed it. Not jumping the gun IMO to ask for next steps on shipping, and I sure hope they aren’t offended!
-
I sent a ticket to Okini land asking for a status update and the shipping estimate for my TV supers. It’s almost been a week and no reply. Has everyone else already received their order already in the US?
-
Some members in the Asian Macross groups have reported that their DX TV super parts have already shipped.
Has anyone received any notifications for your preorders yet? I thought the release date was like the end of this month.

I'd like to know as well.
I believe the bottom and the rear part is the Tamashii Nations Act Trident clear stand, then the front part is the clear adapter that came with the DX valk.

Quick question about the special stand, is it the same as the one for the VF-1J execpt for the text, or the points of banking is more/different. I have not gotten mine as I don’t think I want to feed scalpers at this point, even for $30-50 more.
It has an additional part “S ジョイント” (S joint) that’s new to this DX which allows for additional 15 degrees banking angles either way. See diagram and hopefully that explains it better than I can!

My first round (17.8k yen) PO from Nin-nin has arrived. Aside from the additional shipping charge they asked for to upgrade from EMS to DHL, no complaints at all, no damage to the corners as well from what I can tell.
DHL shipping was super fast - Picked up from Osaka at 6 pm local time Thursday Dec 3, at my door just now in the US at 8:30pm Friday. That’s a door-to-door time of 39.5 hours!
Very pleased with NNG and DHL. For those who are still waiting, hope you will get yours very soon.

As per usual,
I hope nobody buys any from the
resellersscalperscapitalists if it's over way over MSRP and shipping is at least more than 3500y.I hope they all just get stuck with them all unsold.
But then again, a sucker is born every minute...

Did all of the above except the monitor app and be in Japan (I missed the Hikaru release date by a day or so, left just a bit too early.
I had 4 or 5 websites up, hitting refresh on a rotation, for three straight hours, no dice pre-order night. Even had one in my cart at one point but two sites crashed on me.
In the end, I paid the mark up and got one on release date, but it's not about the money, I make a decent living and I'm not crying about the difference of about $50. It's just seeing the greed in people that's off-putting.
Oh well, to each their own. Some people hoard toilet paper and Lysol wipes during a pandemic, I guess others hoard Valkyries, lol!
The profit margin is the part that I am still struggling to understand about these "resellers". Even if they can make $100 or even $200 on each PO, is it really a good return for the time and effort required to secure those POs? Personally I'm not sure I would go into such lengths for a few hundred dollars.

Anyway, trying to think about the VF-1D TWE preorder in a few weeks' time. Are these the only companies who will deliver to the US and offer TWE pre-orders?
Okini Land
Nin-nin Game
Amazon Japan (?)
(not including Nippon-Yasan of course)
are there any others? AFAIK the other usual suspects like CDJ, Amiami, HLJ do not offer TWE preorders.

Thanks for sharing the links guys. I'm going to log into the usual Japanese sites and try my luck at 3am Eastern, but not holding my breath. Interesting how AmiAmi now opens a day later, which may not be a bad thing.
Best of luck to all!
